For locking and other reasons, this change is strongly encouraged.

You did not show us your smb.conf, to understand what particular
fun&games you might be playing that would trigger this change in
behaviour.

I will note however that in 3.0.2, if you have a share named [username],
then [homes] will no longer automatically be an alias for it.
